    Gophers ICED OUT uniforms against Michigan

    35 years ago they were lucky to have two colors of pants. It wasn't a question because there wasn't a question.

    Current travel baseball coach here, and my line is "$400 bat won't fix a $40 swing"

    P.J. Fleck on Gophers/Iowa week: ‘I do like bacon, extra crispy’

    I agree with Fleck that it's a huge game and their focus should be on football. However, bacon should have a bend to it.

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    You and me both. My middle schooler and I agreed to leave after Tonka's first offensive possession and when Edina hit that long pass to go up 28-7, he looked at me and said "let's go." 🤣

    Nelson was a class act (and still is). It is said he stayed on longer than planned with some of those down years so as to set the new coach up with more horses in the stable. Esch is not Nelson from the standpoint of community involvement/visibility, but it is hard to argue with his past...

    2024 MN High School Football thread

    Crazy game. Edina up 21-7 at half and received 2nd half kickoff. Tonka had their best defensive stand up to that point and almost had QB sacked on 3rd down and he broke free and flipped a ~65 yard TD pass to a receiver who got behind the secondary. 28-7 and should have been the kill shot. Hats...

    Morning locals seemed far more confident in storms tonight than my weather apps.

    Parking for UNC game

    Is C-86 contract only or can anyone park assuming availability? I normally get to campus early where parking isn't an issue but with schedule that day and state fair going on, I may go this route.

    All Things EA College Football 25

    I just downloaded the game to an Xbox S this week "for my boys." :) Dragan Kesich doesn't appear to be able to kick it past the 10-15 yard line on kickoffs, at least on the beginner mode. I had 3 punt returns for TD against Wisconsin in an 87-0 route. I don't think punt returns should be that...

    Saban Retiring. Was one heck of a run.

    100% accurate. The QB panicked after the low snap. Play looked like they wanted to trap the 3 or 5 hole and the QB hit the 1 hole, which was where all of Michigan's push was coming from. Will never say with certainty he would have scored, but didn't give himself a chance.

    High School spring practice

    Parents also know that football is not the skill sport that hockey/basketball/baseball are, it has become a secondary sport for most. A good athlete can "try" football for the first time as a freshman and coach will find a role for him. You can't simply "try" hockey/basketball/baseball...

    Based on physical abilities and the little film I've watched, I think AK8 has the higher ceiling vs Brosmer if he can land in the right spot/offense. However, Brosmer's floor is much higher thank AK8. My prediction is we get a game manager that can make those crucial throws and/or have the field...

    Gophers offer Kent State transfer WR Trell Harris

    Not sure how the dynamics of an outgoing portal player are, but if the Gophers really want this guy I'm hoping Kenni Burns is putting a good word in for Fleck.

    BREAKING: ATHAN IN THE PORTAL

    Best of luck to Athan. He seemed like a good human and ambassador of the U. Only ~6-7% of high school football players are lucky enough to play any level of college football. He had all the measurables to secure a B1G offer and was given the keys to the car, but it just didn't work out here. I...

    Student Section

    Game day atmosphere, media timeout engagement, etc. is fantastic. Students showed up all year and they bring the fun. It's why I love college football over the NFL, it is simply a better atmosphere and more family-friendly. That won't change through 5-7 or 11-2 seasons. I have a middle...

    2023 MN High School Football season

    My involvement is with Minnetonka, and I'd say they are the same in regards to the ethos of participation and retention. Coaches at each grade level were aligned that they'd rather have all teams go 4-4 or 5-3 than one 8-0 team and one 0-8 team mixed in there. You won't get it balanced perfectly...

    2023 MN High School Football season

    I think you can find some pre-season or post-season scrimmage opportunities, but the LMAA is an 8-game schedule within the member teams. One thing I like is you only play other association teams, so a Wayzata-1 wouldn't play Wayzata-3 for example.
